*.* Character = Family Background? *.*

So much that I've typed went missing because my internet hanged... Never mind, I've gotten over it. I wanted very much to share my experience with this young girl who is 3 this year.

Her teacher classified her as a big bully in class. She will be separated from all the other kids just to make sure she don't go round bullying other people like snatching toys from them, prevent her from hitting her friends as she can be quite violent.

I was observing her and to my horror, this young girl is not that simple. She was told to sit alone with me and when it was time for their play-time while the teacher went round to distribute toys to the kids.

She gets certain number of toys but she will still go round taking more toys from the other tables and her table ended up full.

The teacher did a real experiment. She get another kid to get the toys from her. Her friend even told her that they have to share and she relunctantly said okay. The second time her friend took her toys, she started to complain. This shows she is not willing to share her things with her friends.

Moments later, she ran to her friends table and told them something then she ran to the toilet. Before taking off her pants, she ran back to her table again. Her teacher reassured her that no one will take her toys so she ran to the toilet again. As she was taking off her pants or even putting it on after that, her eyes did not leave the table. She will make sure no one goes near her table. Later then I realized, she actually went to her friends to tell them that she is going to the loo and she warned them not to take anything from her table. Though her friends did not seem to bother what she said, but deep inside her she meant what she said.

I began to find out that her behavior have got something to do with her family background and her upbringing. She is the only child who come from a single-parent family, lives with her mother and grandmother. Her mother spoilt her so much that she behave almost like a princess in class that everyone has to give in to her.

My concern is this, if she wasn't from a broken family, will she be like this? If her mother didn't spoil her so much, will she be a bully in class? I don't blame this small girl because she didn't do anything wrong but people around her especially the adult has been giving in to her too much. It's scary for a 3 year old girl to behave like this and I hope she will change for the better.
